Cunning. I like it. But first all must be made aware. Oh, that is if it's ok with old55 anyway...

Yeah I think once everyone is on board we could try a one day time limit, what do you think?

Make your selections in order in the thread so we can make sure they happen in the right order but keep a summary post up near the top with all your selections and players in position so so far - does this make sense?

It is going to take a while but we've got nothing better to do until the pre-season comp starts ...

Yes that makes sense.

To repeat my original post, does anyone want to make this full-scale?

I was thinking something like this. (BigFooty does have a lot of members but we only need 10-12 to kick it off, and I'm not sure how many teams they have.)

I reckon this would be really good, although considering there are 600+ players in the draft, we'd need very active members to kick it off before the season starts.

Anyone? I think it would be fun :)

Old I just realised you are not in the list of 10. I am happy to step aside if you want to have a crack. It was your idea after all!

I'm not opposed to a "last-in, first-out" policy.

Fair is fair.

No worries, thanks - I'm happy to be independent administrator

Full-scale ? Unsure eth38. Might be worth a try though. But for now I reckon we give old's best 18 a crack.

You can always try and start something before the 2011 season if you want.ie in off-season. Sent the master a PM, he might be the only one unaware.

Is a whole 24 hours too long to wait?

Should we make it 12 hours from the last pick and if they miss that deadline they pass and take their pick at the end of the round?

(can you tell I'm getting impatient for my turn..?)

I think Round 1 was always going to take a little while. Thereafter once all are aware it could be quicker if everyone checks in now and then.

And you reckon you have a wait ! :lol:

But I'm looking forward to the set of steak knives.... :)

12 hours is better I agree. Perhaps if they miss then they pick 2 picks at their next turn? If they miss that chance then they forfeit?

Patience kids, after the first round, 24 hours it is, some people only have a certain window each day.

Agree with the idea of 2 picks next round and if they don't show at that pick it's out.

I agree.

Only having a small window is understandable.

Maybe to preserve the integrity of the draft, if they miss the 2 picks then the position is offered up to other posters who aren't participating but wish to assume the role.

We're better off with those that are committed, otherwise everyone will get frustrated.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
